Man collapsed after heart attack rescued outside builders’ yard

A worker wearing a black hoodie at the Builders Supply Stores at Spon End was performing CPR on the man who suffered a heart attack when the paramedic arrived, according to an eyewitness.

The man collapsed earlier today by his car around 10:30am, prompting a worker to attempt to resuscitate him before the Warwickshire and Northampton Air Ambulance arrived.

A spokesperson for the West Midlands Ambulance Service said: “They were successfully able to restart the man’s heart prior to transporting him to University Hospital Coventry and Warwickshire by land ambulance.
